Dinah,
I still flinch sometimes when he notes how attached to him I am, or how much I need him. But not as much these days. He says it in such a way that it is not only expected but like it is a good thing. And it is definitely easier to admit these feelings and figure out what I need to feel safe.I'm still shocked when my therapist talks directly to my younger self and she responds. The flood of emotions shakes me and I have a hard time editing what she wants to say. There is a powerful urgency sometimes, like she senses a window of opportunity that will only be open for so long.
It is nice that you understand so well.
